It’s official. RIIZE is once again seven. I woke up this morning to headlines, Reddit posts, happy BRIIZE reactions, and anti-fans losing their minds.
Seunghan has been out of the group for ten months. He’s missed a lot, including BOSS RIIZE, which I now do plan to recap if there’s a second season. It will be good to see him back with his friends in the group. He didn’t deserve to get kicked out in the first place. I’m happy to see that SM Entertainment pushed back against the toxic fans, known as OT6 (named for their belief that there should only be six members, not seven. Those who have hoped for Seunghan’s return are called OT7.)
Of course, OT6 is not happy, and we are once again treated to news about how borderline criminally insane K-pop anti-fans can be. They are actually leaving funeral wreaths at the entrance of SM Entertainment. That, to me, sounds like a death threat. And funeral wreaths are expensive. According to PannKpop.com, nearly one thousand of these wreaths were sent to SM. How much money do these OT6s make? Do they have actual jobs? If so, do their bosses know this is what their employees are doing with their free time? Leaving sinister messages at entertainment companies over boy band decisions? If I ran a company and saw one of my employees on the news doing this, there would be a meeting with HR the next day.
It’s also a bit frustrating that Seunghan had to wrote a long letter of apology to appease the OT6. For having a girlfriend before becoming an idol. Unfortunately, he’s not the only idol who’s had to write apology letters to the fans for normal things like dating. He also had to apologize for the fact that he smoked cigarettes back in high school, which is a bad habit but also none of anyone else’s business.
Whatever happens going forward, this is happy news, and I’m looking forward to seeing performances and videos with all seven members back together. What a nice way to end these recaps.
Welcome back, Seunghan. Enjoy your career and all the craziness that
goes with it. And if there is a season
two of BOSS RIIZE, watch out for Eun Seok.
BOSS RIIZE update – Well, never mind. Everything is awful.
